Wireless Broadband Acess or WiMAX, which is a 4G Technology provides high-speed wireless internet and data network access over a wide area. The service will allow companies to offer high-speed Internet access as well as IP Telephony and IP TV services.
Companies can deploy WiMAX to provide mobile broadband or at-home broadband connectivity across whole cities. Additionally, given the relatively low cost to deploy a WiMAX network (in comparison to GSM, DSL or Fiber-Optic), it is now possible to provide broadband in places where it may have not been economically viable.
